Medical Eye

What Medical Eye does

Medical Eye operates as Bergman Clinics Medical Eye-Care, a multi-location ophthalmology medical care center (Medizinisches Versorgungszentrum, MVZ) headquartered in Hamburg, Germany. The company runs three practice locations — a main clinic with attached eye hospital (Augenklinik) at Einkaufstreffpunkt Farmsen in northeast Hamburg, plus satellite practices in Glinde and Tonndorf — and serves as the largest inter-municipal MVZ for ophthalmology in northeast Hamburg. Its core services span cataract surgery, glaucoma therapy (including the newly introduced Elios Laser System for minimally invasive intraocular pressure reduction), general ophthalmology, pediatric eye care via the Eye-Care Children's Center, and specialized contact lens fitting via the Expert Contact Lens Institute, all delivered through a collaborative ophthalmologist-optician model branded as the Visual Center.

The technical foundation combines clinical ophthalmology equipment with the Elios Laser System for minimally invasive glaucoma treatment, integrated under one roof with an optical services unit. The team consists of 8 medical professionals including 5 ophthalmology specialists, 2 surgeons, a medical director, a resident physician, and a master optician leading the contact lens institute. The business model is direct-to-consumer healthcare delivery: patients book appointments via an integrated Bergman Clinics online scheduling system, phone, or email, and services are billed under the German statutory (GKV) and private (PKV) health insurance fee schedules (GOÄ/GOP). Revenue is generated from outpatient consultations, diagnostic examinations, surgical procedures, and specialized treatments, with no public pricing and no third-party intermediaries in the distribution chain. The company operates as a subsidiary within the Bergman Clinics network, with marketing conducted through its website, Facebook, Instagram, and LinkedIn presence.
